[MacDV] Fw: DVD Studio Pro slideshows look low res

[Brett Conlon]

Thnaks for your feedback Colt & Jim.

I talked to a colleague the other day and he recommended cropping the 4:3 
pics (PAL) as 768 X 576 then resampling them to 720 X 576 in a similar 
vain to creating 16:9 menus at 1024 X 576 then resampling to 720 X 576. 
This is because of the difference between the square pixels of the 
computer vs. the rectangular pixels of TV.

I haven't given it a go yet but I'll try with a short test and see if that 
makes a difference. Basically I'm trying to avoid DSPro resampling the 
images for me if they are the wrong size.... at least that seems to be 
where the issue is coming from.

Thanks for letting me know, matey! I just musn't have received the 
confirmation back.

Surely someone out there has built a slideshow in DVDStudio Pro. If they 
didn't notice any quality problems then perhaps it is just my setup.

Cheers,

Well I was thinking about it. I usually use iPhoto or iMovie or FCP studio 
to assemble my montages and put them in as video .
So while I was thinking about it, I thought maybe it would work better if 
you resized the pictures to 720x480 or  1080x720 before you put them in 
there.
But it seemed kind of simplistic.
